Cian Ducrot shares heartfelt statement as he announces second album
He set out to write over 100 songs
The past three years have been a whirlwind for Irish/French singer Cian Ducrot. Following the release of his Number 1 album 'Victory', and several songs including Top 10 hits 'All for You', and 'I'll Be Waiting', the singer has now announced a new tour, and a second album called 'Little Dreaming'.
Announcing the news of the album, Cian revealed he set out to write a massive 100 songs to 'hopefully make the best album'. The singer explained in an Instagram caption that he got to 70 songs and still didn't feel he had written a good song, however it seems that finally he has achieved his goal, because he has confirmed the release date for his next album will be in July.
Cian told his fans in a lengthy statement: 'When it was time to start working on CD2, I knew I had to push myself more than ever before. So I set out to write over 100 songs to hopefully make the best album I could. (Apparently, that’s what my heroes did?) I won’t lie—it was scary and hard to know if I was doing anything right, or if I was ever gonna write a good song. But I was searching so hard for a certain feeling. No matter how good or bad the songs were, I was chasing that feeling. At 70 songs in, I still didn’t have it. BUT I felt close…
'I wrote everywhere—from the top of a mountain in the Alps to the English countryside, to a studio in Hollywood, at home, my mom’s house, your mom’s house?! Ok maybe not that last one but still… almost everywhere!!' (sic)
He went on to say: 'A wise friend told me:
'“you can fk yourself once or twice in this process—make something you don’t like and no one else does, OR make something you love… and maybe still no one else likes it lol. But at least with the latter, you’ve made something you truly love. Then you’ve only fked yourself once!!”
'So that’s what I did. And it was the most incredible, life-changing experience—to be a kid again and write without pressure. And then it fell out!!
'And now here I am—so nervous but also excited to announce “LITTLE DREAMING”, my sophomore album, out July 11th!! (Unless someone really famous drops one the same day… then I’ll probably have some “delays out of my control” lol).
'Feels like only yesterday I put out Victory, yet I’ve been working on this album for a lifetime. So many amazing collaborators, friends, and loved ones helped make this possible (you know who you are).' (sic)
Fans of the singer have been left very excited by the news, with one commenting: 'Obsessed with little dreaming playing it non stop 😍' (sic), another wrote: 'can't wait for the album 😭😭', with a third saying: 'Couldn’t be prouder of you every single day ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️'.
